justin caldbeck: Now increasing numbers of women are going public with complaints of gender-based discrimination in some cases leading men to step down, according to The Japan Times. Travis Kalanick, Uber's embattled chief executive, resigned last month, yielding to pressure from investors seeking to clean up the company's allegedly toxic corporate culture. Accusations concerning the lack of women in tech jobs and unfair, or downright crude, treatment endured by some in the industry have simmered for years, occasionally reaching boiling point. His departure capped a rocky period for the global ride-sharing giant, which has been roiled by disturbing reports of cutthroat workplace conditions, harassment and discrimination. June also saw venture capitalist Justin Caldbeck take an indefinite leave of absence from Binary Capital in Silicon Valley in the face of allegations he made sexual advances toward female entrepreneurs interested in funding. Before Kalanick's departure, Uber said it had fired 20 people after examining 215 claims of discrimination, harassment, unprofessional behavior and bullying.
